EDITORS COMMENTS
In an empty Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus, Greece, Arsenal's Gabriel scored the second goal for his team during the UEFA Europa League Round of 16 first leg match against Olympiacos on March 11, 2021. The stadium, like many others across Europe, was under strict restrictions due to the ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic. Government social distancing laws prohibited fans from attending the game, resulting in a surreal atmosphere as the match was played behind closed doors. Gabriel's goal came in the 36th minute, and he celebrated with his teammates Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Gabriel Martinelli, as well as Cedric, who provided the assist. Arsenal went on to win the match 3-1, giving them a strong advantage going into the second leg. Despite the unusual surroundings, the players gave their all on the pitch, showcasing their skill and determination in front of empty stands. The empty stadium added an eerie silence to the game, but the intensity and passion of the players remained undiminished. The coronavirus pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to the world of sports, forcing teams to adapt to new ways of playing and training. But even in these challenging times, the love for the game and the desire to compete continue to shine through. This photo captures a moment of triumph for Arsenal, as Gabriel celebrates his goal in an otherwise empty stadium. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of athletes and the enduring power of sports to bring people together, even in the most unusual of circumstances.
